Customer
On the Customers form, enter the number to use for identifying this customer. The customer number is then used to identify this customer's records throughout the system. If you do not specify a number here, the system assigns the next unique customer number available when you save the record. The prefix assigned to the customer number comes from the Customer Prefix defined on the Accounts Receivable Parameters form.
Note: If
you specify a number containing a special character that is the same as the
current default wildcard character, you must change the wildcard character.
On other forms, select a customer number from the drop-down list, or specify an existing customer number. If appropriate, the customer's full bill-to mailing address is displayed.
